6. DesRrisay and Connolly Buildings The DesBrisay block (below), at the corner of Grafton and Queen streets, was built in 1901 to plans drawn by William Harris ^ and features the multi-coloured brickwork popularised by the English architect William Butterfield . The brick was imported from Ontario . Architecturally, it is one of the finest buildings of its kind in eastern Canada . Both William Harris and his older brother Tom had offices in the building On the morning of February 2, 1904, Tom was found lying on the floor of his office with his doorkey in his hand, dead of a heart attack just after arriving at work. For many years Hughes drug store, reputed to be the oldest in Canada , occupied the ground floor of the building. All that's left of the drugstore is some elaborate oak wood work carved by James A Stewart . The brickwork was cleaned recently, and the building presents an attractive appearance appropriate to the premier corner of Charlottetown . The Owen Connolly building (right) at , erected in 1889 two years after Mr. Connolly 's death by the trustees of his estate, on the other hand remains uncleaned. The black grime on its rough hewn Island and Nova Scotia stone facade is a relic of days gone by when Charlottetown was largely heated by coal fires in open grates. The exterior of the building is mostly unspoiled including the passageway on the left that admitted horse-drawn carts to the yard at the back. A massive parapet supports a bust of Mr. Connolly carved by Howard Ramsay .
